Day 95: Exploring the Mornington Peninsula

We had an explore down the Mornington Peninsula today, driving down the coast and taking in the beautiful scenery.

We made a detour to Arthur's Seat where Duncan took pics and we did the circular walk, which took in some William Ricketts sculptures, an indigenous garden, the Matthew Flinders cairn and a pretty spectacular lookout.

Meandering on further down through Sorrento and Portsea, we came upon Point Nepean and the National Park. We discovered that you can cycle all through the park, right up to about 500m before the actual point, so we are planning to go down there again (on a sunny day) and take the bikes for a good bit of exercise and exploring.

On our way back through Sorrento we sought out the historic park and the boys got rid of a lot of energy on the large play park.
It is really lovely and scenic and quite tranquil in parts of this peninsula, and I look forward to spending more time down there in the days to come.
